Chapter 021 Chapter 21
Gong Jiu got off the horse, walked forward a few steps eagerly, and suddenly stopped.
Xue Chen smiled and was about to get off the carriage: "Lan'er came to pick me up? How did you know I was coming?"
"Don't move." Facing his brother's puzzled eyes, Gong Jiu explained, "There is an epidemic in the city. Although I have never been infected, I am afraid that I will bring the disease out. You have always been weak, so you'd better be careful and don't get too close to me." "
Locust plagues are always accompanied by plagues. Fortunately, I came, otherwise you would be left here alone without anyone close to you." Xue Chen was not surprised at all. He got off the carriage, ignored his brother's dodging, came to his side, gently hugged Gong Jiu, and quickly let go.
Xue Chen: [I was scared to death. I forgot that he was a pervert. I almost patted his back! 】
System: [Not really? Besides, isn't he trying hard to hide it from you? Even if he gets sick from you, he will endure it. 】
Xue Chen: [Do you understand mental attack? 】
System: [……]
Xue Chen: [Can I light up the memory skill for the main body? I really forgot it just now, and the moment I remembered it after touching him was too scary. 】
System: [Skill points can only be used on the corresponding vest, not for the main body. However, the synchronization rate of the vest you play will be improved, and it will be fed back to the main body. At that time, there is no need to light up the skills, and the memory can also be improved. Work hard on the task! 】
Brother rarely shows emotions like this.
Gong Jiu originally had a grim expression, and in his heart he blamed his brother for running around when he was obviously in poor health. After being hugged by his brother, his body suddenly froze, his mind went blank, and only the instinct to get close to his brother remained.
They are twin brothers, cast by the same blood, and came to the world together.
Isn't it natural for the elder brother to worry about the younger brother?
On the contrary, since he longed for pain, he deliberately distanced himself from his brother and could only spend a few days together in a year. He felt guilty and would bring a lot of gifts to his brother every time he went home.
He knew very well that what his brother wanted was not gifts at all.
He also wanted to get along with his brother like before... but he could never go back...
Gong Jiu came to his senses and saw Xue Chen looking at him with concern, avoiding his sight: "My eldest brother took the carriage of the palace and brought these thirty or fifty attendants with him. He did not hide it. It happened that the local soldiers went to Huainan to borrow food. When they came back, they saw it from a distance and sent someone to ask me. If not for this, I would not know you were here until now, and you did not send a message in advance. Why did you come here suddenly? Does father know?"
Xue Chen knew he was lying as soon as he heard it.
Before he came, he asked Xiao He to write a letter to pass on the news. When he was about to arrive at Longxing Mansion, Xiao He also wrote a letter to inform Gong Jiu. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they met in front of the city gate?
Such a scene was completely under the control of Xue Chen. When it comes to deceiving, he deceived his brother no less.
Xue Chen: [Huh~]
System: [What are you doing again?]
Xue Chen: [Take a deep breath in your heart.]
System: [? ? ?]
Soon the system knew what Xue Chen meant.
He held Gong Jiu's hand very naturally, without any reluctance, his eyes were smiling, and his tone was intimate: "I informed my father before coming here, he knows I'm coming. Come with me in the car, it's a good opportunity to talk about the things in the city."
Gong Jiu: "But there is an epidemic in the city, brother, why don't you change your route to Huaixi, there..."
Xue Chen was tough and firm: "No, I'm here to find you."
Gong Jiu compromised, and didn't have the heart to break away, so he was dragged into the car.
Xue Chen personally calculated the accounts of Longxing Prefecture, and no one knew the disaster situation in the city better than him, but that was information only known to the vest.
Xue Chen pretended to be concerned and asked a few questions in a pretentious manner. After going through the basic information, he began to prepare for himself: "I have received all the gifts you sent me a few days ago. You took the trouble to search for them, and they are all to my liking."
Gong Jiu: "As long as you like them, big brother."
Xue Chen blinked at him: "Before leaving, I asked someone to bring a few white clothes. If there is a chance, I can wear them for you to see."
Gong Jiu understood and chuckled and said, "Okay."
The two of them were in tune with each other and did not need too many words. They discussed what to do next in just two simple sentences.
Xue Chen and Gong Jiu looked at each other in tacit understanding, and showed similar smiles at the same time.
Xue Chen wailed at the system: [It's over, it's over, I'm done, I actually synchronized my brain circuits with the pervert! ]
The system did not dare to speak.
Since crossing over, you two have never made mistakes!
–
Gong Jiu did not take Xue Chen to the government office, but went directly to the courtyard where Ma Jia lived.
The carriage entered from the back door, Gong Jiu got off first, Xue Chen changed his brocade robe, took out white clothes from the box, and after getting dressed, he slowly drank tea in the carriage.
Someone came to Hongdouju again. The person probably heard that the disabled young man living here had a strange temper. He hesitated outside for a long time, and couldn't wait for Hu Sheng to come back, so he mustered up the courage to walk into the courtyard.
When Xue Chen used his original body to communicate with Gong Jiu, Xie Heng had just finished refining the elixir and closed his eyes to rest in the courtyard. After hearing the movement, he opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.
"Something?"
"Young Master, let me tell you something. From today on, no one is allowed to call him 'Ninth Young Master'. Just call him Young Master directly. Please keep it in mind. If something goes wrong, Young Master will be in trouble."
After saying that, he stared at Xue Chen closely, and when he saw the other party nod in response, he stepped back respectfully, turned around and left.
Xue Chen: [My brother is really too strict. People who don't know would think he has a serious illness. Although he does have a serious illness.]
System: [……]
The original body in the carriage finished a cup of tea, and estimated that the time was about right. Xue Chen adjusted his expression and came out of the carriage with a grim face.
The servants in the yard stopped what they were doing when they saw him: "Young Master."
Xue Chen ignored everyone and walked past indifferently, going straight to Cangyunxuan in the east.
Gong Jiu dismissed the servants in the yard and stood at the door waiting for him.
It was the first time Xue Chen wore white clothes in front of him, and he deliberately maintained Gong Jiu's unique expression. After seeing Gong Jiu in the same white clothes, he actually wanted to retreat.
The system encouraged him: [Go! Host, go! ]
Xue Chen: [I never thought that wearing white clothes in front of my brother would be more embarrassing than wearing women's clothes.]
System: [I don't understand.]
Xue Chen: [I regret it so much. Everything was planned so perfectly, except for my emotions. Why did I make it so hard for myself, woo woo.]
System: [Go for it!]
Xue Chen couldn't hold back his expression.
Gong Jiu walked up to him, looked him up and down with a scrutinizing look, and finally looked him straight in the eyes.
Gong Jiu: "I didn't expect that big brother also has such sharp eyes."
Xue Chen smiled and his expression became soft: "Is he like you?"
Gong Jiu: "Very similar."
After changing his expression that was three parts cold, three parts resolute, three parts conceited and one part cruel, the sense of shame weakened a lot, and Xue Chen felt a little more comfortable, "What do you need me to do?"
Gong Jiu walked into the house with him side by side: "My arithmetic is not very good, and I always feel that they have deceived me. Big brother, please go to the government office for me tomorrow to see if there is anything wrong, so that I can take action to deal with other things."
"Okay."
